Time, and/or Chaz

[desperance]

My watch died this morning.

I'm fairly sure it's just the battery that's dead, actually, and it will rise again - probably on the third day, which is my average for remembering to take something into town and then remembering to do it while I'm there (there's a cheque I've been carrying around for a week, because I keep forgetting the go-to-the-bank part).

What's funny is how far I've slipped, how quickly. Take the time off my wrist, and I instantly revert to a different bodyclock. Apparently. I didn't eat lunch till three o'clock, and I've barely started cooking dinner, which is going to need a long slow couple of hours' simmering before I can think about eating. And at the moment, I'm entirely comfortable with this.

Maybe I should turn the alarm off, and see what time I wake up naturally tomorrow?

Meanwhile, back to work. I rarely work this late either, but I've barely started my evening session. Luckily, I have lots of wine...

I had to give up wearing watches. Mine always died stone dead in a fairly short time. No idea why.

I haven't worn a watch in almost 3 years. The battery gave out and before I could get a new one my mother pasted away (I'm almost certain the two weren't connected!). I haven't missed it but I'm sure the real reason is far more psychological. . .

You ought to be atavistic, and carry a winding watch. A pocketwatch, if possible, for proper punctilio.
